The University of Denver's 2009-2010 hockey schedule hasn't been released yet but a few dates on the upcoming season have been compiled from various sources. We've cobbled together DU's upcoming season based on other schools' schedules and DU's rotating WCHA opponents.

An email to DU season ticket holders said Boston College would be at the Denver Cup.

"Full season ticket holders will enjoy a 23 game home schedule, while Power Pack holders enjoy 11 games in their package. College hockey heavyweights Vermont, Boston College, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Colorado College all make their way to Magness Arena this season."

You forgot to add DETROIT to the end of the schedule. This team is going to Ford Field (home of the worst football team of all time). Captain Rak, Chevy, Drew and the boys will turn that place UpSiDe DoWn !

BU season ticket holder here. BU's playing 27 Hockey East games, 2 Beanpot games, and Cornell (at MSG), Harvard (road), Notre Dame (home), Michigan (home), and RPI (home) in its out of league games. The Denver Cup isn't happening again this year. You must be getting the 2nd rate team from down the street instead.

Regarding the NCAA in St. Paul, there are very few cities out west that can host Regionals. Mariucci & the Xcel Center sell a lot of tickets, guarentee the NCAA a revenue stream and are willing to make the sacrifice.

Considering there are five D-1 hockey programs in Minnesota and only three in Colorado they certainly deserve to host the regionals more frequently.

Colorado Springs hosted Regionals in 2004 & 2008, Denver hosted a Regional in 2007 & the Frozen Four in 2008.
